Ingredients
Shortbread Crust
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 12 tbsp unsalted butter melted
Pecan Topping
- 4 eggs room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 3 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter melted, slightly cooled
- 3/4 cup honey
- 3 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups pecans chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper. Set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and use a fork to stir everything together.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and use your fingers to distribute it evenly. Press down firmly to form a smooth and compacted layer.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden.
Pecan Filling
- In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a fork and set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour and salt.
- Add the melted butter, honey, heavy cream, eggs and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir to combine until the mixture is smooth.
- Fold in the chopped pecans.
- Pour the pecan topping over the hot shortbread crust. Bake for about 25-35 minutes, or until the edges have set and the center is mostly set with a little jiggle. The filling will continue to set as it cools.
- Rest the bars at room temperature until completely cooled before serving. Enjoy!
